the secretary of defense has called those kinds of cuts devastating to our national security. i will not cut our military. i will restore that funding and keep our military second to none in the world. [cheers] [applause] now, there is one more place where you saw a distinction between the two of us. we were asked about how we would get the economy going and create jobs. and i hope that you listen carefully to the president's response. because what he said is reminiscent of what he said four years ago, with stimulus and hiring government workers and raising taxes, those things do not create jobs. those don't help the private sector employment of people and expand. those do not encourage entrepreneurs to start more businesses. his plans do not create jobs for the american people. i actually have a plan that will create 12 million new jobs and get rising incomes going again. either by the way, the median income of an american family over the last four years has gone down so much as a family. crude oil costs are up, health care costs are up, these have been tough times for middle

the compound's first line of defense easily breached. according to one of the libyan guards who was stationed at the gate armed with only a radio, the assault happened simultaneously from three different directions. he says that he initially heard chanting growing increasingly louder and then suddenly the gunfire, the rocket-propelled grenades and heavy machine gunfire all began attacking the compound. this is where ambassador chris stephens slept, part of a small suite also meant to be a makeshift safe room. here on the floor between the bed and the chair is where cnn found the ambassador's journal. it is also the same room where the ambassador was located hours after the attack first began. separated by smoke from his security detail. the u.s. initially said the assault was the result of a demonstration that turned violent. >> putting together the best information that we have available to us today, our current assessment is that what happened in benghazi was, in fact, initially a spontaneous reaction to what had just transpired hours
